GO BERNT'S: MAUI, HAWAII

SO IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I LAST POSTED....I'VE BEEN SO BUSY! THE BIGGEST THING WE HAVE BEEN UP TO LATELY IS THAT JARED AND I GOT TO GO TO MAUI FOR A WEEK, JUST THE TWO OF US! WE HAD A SPLENDID TIME AND IT WAS AMAZING! THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL MOTHER FOR TAKING THE WEEK OFF TO SPEND IT WITH HALLE KAY-SHE DID AMAZING AND HALLE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER..ALSO, THANKS TO GRUMPY AND NAISY BERNT ALONG WITH AUNT BOO FOR TAKING HER A COUPLE HOURS HERE AND THERE TO PLAY WITH HER AND HAVE FUN! WHILE IN HAWAII, JARED AND I GOT TO GO SNORKELING AND KAYAKING-WE EVEN GOT UP CLOSE TO A REEF SHARK AND SOME HUGE MONSTER TURTLES (LIKE THE ONES ON FINDING NEMO!) THEN WE HAD SOME GREAT MEALS AND SOME GREAT WEATHER. WE SPENT ALOT OF TIME ON OUR HOTELS PRIVATE BEACH BEING SPOILED BY THE WORKERS WHO WOULD BRING AROUND FRESH PINEAPPLE, CHAIRS, TOWELS, UMBRELLAS, AND COLD WATER OUT OF THE BLUE TO SPOIL US ROTTEN...THEY EVEN GAVE US SUNSCREEN. WE ALSO MET UP WITH A CUTE COUPLE THERE FROM TEXAS, THEY WILL BE LIFELONG FRIENDS...THEY WERE SO MUCH FUN TO GET TO KNOW. THEY ALSO HAD A RENTAL CAR AND SO ONE DAY WE WENT AND EXPLORED THE ISLAND WITH THEM...SO FUN! WE GOT TO GO ON A SPLENDID WHALE WATCHING TOUR-AMAZING! THOSE ANIMALS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! THEN I DID THE SPA WITH ANDREA (TEXAS GIRL) WHILE JARED SNORKELED WITH JOSH(TEXAS BOY)! THEN THE FINAL DAY, WE GOT AN EARLY FLIGHT TO HONOLULU AND GOT A RENTAL CAR. WE WENT TO THE DOLE FRUIT PLANTATION, WE EVEN GOT FRESH PINEAPPLE SHAKES, DELISH! WENT TO PEARL HARBOR, WHICH WAS SIMPLY AMAZING, AND WENT ON THE TEMPLE GROUNDS OF THE TEMPLE, BEAUTIFUL! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND IT WAS A GREAT GETAWAY JUST THE TWO OF US BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE ONE RUNNING AROUND AND CAN'T DO IT FOR A BIT. ALTHOUGH, WE DID MISS OUR LITTLE HALLE MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF... BESIDES THE NAUSEA AND NOT EATING TO MUCH YET, I FELT OKAY...PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE EVER, JUST ME AND JARED WAYNE! THANKS TO ALL THAT HELPED US SO WE COULD GO!( AND, BY THE WAY, YOU WILL NOTICE MY HAIR IS SHORT. RIGHT BEFORE OUR TRIP I WENT TO SLC WITH MY MOM-IN-LAW TO HER HAIRDRESSER AND CUT OFF 13 INCHES....DONATED IT TO LOCKS OF LOVE....LOVE SHORT HAIR, ESPECIALLY WITH A KIDDO AND ONE ON THE WAY!)
